As I sit here angrily munching on snacks, a time-wasting, post-increasing dumb debate question occurred to me: can food be considered a drug?
Go. I guess
-
I don't know about a drug, but I would say everyone is addicted to food because without it you would die, lol.
-
Well yeah true. I was thinking more in the sense of...something to do. Like opiates. They make me happy, give me feelings, pass the time - increase my standards of happiness. I can safely say that food does the same thing (as well as keep me alive).
-
There is also the whole idea of caffeine, tyrosine/tryptophan, any other chemicals naturally occurring in food that do things for your brain chemistry.
-
yes, mushrooms come to mind ;D

I see what you did there!
-
Honestly even though it sounds dumb, food can definitely become a drug to an individual.
-
I remember reading that most wheat (white bread) has chemicals in them that are very similar to opiates, and you actually experience small withdrawal symptoms if you stop eating bread.
So yes, food influences your brain chemistry which influences everything else therefore drugs.
-
Yep, all those yummy chemicals in food. Snacks? Gasp! I'm munching on snacks too! :) Chocolate chip cookies. Yes, I know, I seem too happy, but hey, these cookies were made just for me.
-
awwww the OP went and got 50 posts and left us :'(
-
:-\ Aw...Maybe they just went to get some cookies?
-
The answer is YES................... as long as you add some hash oil to it ;]
-
:-\ Aw...Maybe they just went to get some cookies?
ooo cookies, are they gonna be special cookies?
-

ha ha that is funny!
-
Speaking of special cookies... Way back in the way, someone I knew made special brownies, went into school early and put them in the teacher's lounge. The teachers ate them up, and the day was much more interesting. ::) The cool part is, most of the teachers knew that they were high, but they just kept on teaching. (This was the type of school that had cigarette burns on the toilet seats, desks, lunch tables.)
-
Imagine if weed was your only source of food for a week! Now that is something to think about! ::)
-
Just about all food effects you in some way. Just like drugs.
Food makes you feel happy or sad. It can give you energy or make you tired. Some crave it to the point of addiction. Some are good for you while others aren't . Some food can even cure (or cause) disease.
Sounds a lot like a drug.

Hi all! This is my first post, woo. I'd have to agree with the yes crowd on this one with the way foods interact with our body chemistry. Word.

I second the motion.

sugar and how about regulation of sugar levels in the body through products that put some of us in a never ending eating cycle of wanting more and more
-
Food alters your mind state in that it effects the productivity of it.
Should you eat shit processed food you wouldn't retain any nutritional necessities and your body wouldn't work as efficiently. Your brain is also a muscle and its efficiency would lack somewhat should you not feed it properly.
Food for thought.
-
I'm gonna say yes.
Have you seen all the fat fucks walking around? Addicts
Try cutting carbohydrates and sugars out completely. You don't actually need more than a tiny bit. Your body will throw a bitch fit though because you're addicted to them. After a few days of having no energy and just overall feeling shitty, you'll feel great.

drug newbies. not me

Don't break out the cheetos ;D

McKenna mentioned refined sugar as being much as a drug as the others. A lot of people (me included) really really love ice cream and eat it a lot - like a drug!
-
Definitely. Thea contains l-theanine, which acts a bit like a drug in high quantities!
-
sugar, lots of sugar

If food is a drug, I may need to go to Foodaholics Anonymous.

Any one asking if foods can be considered drugs, has clearly never had Nutella™..
Nutella™ = Crack rock. LOL
-
LOL dirty-I love Nutella!!!
I have most definitely used food "as a drug", using drugs is about covering unwanted feelings alot of the time and that is exactly what people who binge on food are doing. Not everyone but some.

Im one of them, and I genuinely love to eat. fat fuck here. lol
-
absolutely!
yes!!
-
Food i think it can, for sure, anything hazardous to your health would fit that bill
-
yes, shrooms ;)
-
Pretty much everything that crosses the blood brain barrier is a drug if I'm not mistaken. There are plenty of things in food that come under this category. Heck, you can eat dried opium poppy pods for their fiber and get high off of their morphine content.
-
I heard that there is a type of cheese that if eaten before bed produce particularly odd/vivid dreams.
-
Yes.
A great deal of compulsive eaters and overweight people are not eating out of hunger nor cravings or nutritional need. They are actually eating to make the brain release a dose of it's natural "chemical rewards" , similar to endorphins and such. They are eating to get a chemical fix from their mind's pleasure center.
That's part of the reason it's hard to lose weight naturally.
When food companies advertise food on TV, if you watch carefully, you'll notice that they always associate food - with sex, love, well-being, comfort, joy ect. and your mind has been so absolutely saturated by those messages that an apple will not release the chemical "feelgood" like the way a Cool Ranch Dorrito chip will.
Also you could say that theres many alkaloids in all plants and vegtibles, most we have no idea how they affect the human mind/body.
